Congrats to Bert and Roberto...The Fates have aligned and given us two Berts in one year!

To stay on the Hall of Fame ballot players must receive 5% of the votes...meaning players like Harold Baines, John Franco, and John Olerud have fallen off the eligible list for next year. Somewhat shockingly, Rafael Palmeiro received only 11% of the vote this year and could possibly fall of the list next season.
I'm holding out hope that next year's ballot will be Jack Morris' year. Jack had 53.5% of the vote and next year the only major star being added to the list is Bernie Williams...so I hope Jack strikes gold on his 13th ballot.
